/. What True Merit will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschce's
German Syrup within Il few years, has as
tonished the world. 1t is without doubt
the safest and best remedy ever discover
ed for the speedy and eilectual cure of
Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung
troubles. 1t acts on an entirely different
principle from the usual prescriptions
given by Physicians, as it does not dry
up Cough and leave the disease still in
the system but on the contrary removes
the cttuse of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in Il purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in he
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and Il long spell of serious illness. A
trial will convince you of these facts. II
is positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price, "a
cts, large bottles.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off Of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, us well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
features. Especially is this the case with
Grccn's 1ugust EioWer and Boschee's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty
six cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size of the bottles contain
ing these remedies, thereby giving one
fifth more medicine in the IS cent size.
The august Flower for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup
for Cough and Lung troubles, have per-
haps the largest sale of any medicines
in the world. The advantage of increas-
ed size of the bottles will be greatly APP
preciated by the sick and afflicted, in
every town and village in civilized coun-
tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents re-
main the same size.

Police Detective Bureau.
The Museum of Crime, opposite the
private office of Inspector Byrnes, is a
shuddering horror; not so much from
what is seen as from what is suggested.
Speaking likenesses of shop-lifters,
pick-pockets, burglars and eminent
"crooks" glare from the walls upon
visitors. Sledge-hammers whose heads
are filled with lead, drags, drills, sec
tional jimmies, masks, powder-hasks,
ETC., that were used in the Manhattan
Bank robbery of October 27, 1878,
challenge inspection in their glass
cases. The rascals made away with
81, 749, 400 in bonds and securities, and
about $1,000 in money, on that occa-
sion; but, thanks to cur uneqnaied de-
tective system, did not retain all their
booty. Here are samples of the me-
chancal skill of Gustave Kindt, alias
"French Gus" a professional burglar
and maker of burglars tools, which
he let out to impecunious thieves on
definite percentages of their robberies.
The assortment of burglarious kits,
tools, keys, wax impressions, ETC., is
complete. The genius of Kindt and
Klein, so wofully perverted, ought to
have made their fortunes in legitimate
fields of operation. Nat Whites bo-

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Newmsrkets, Tea Aprons and Imported
Polonaises Recently Brought 0dt.


The Newmarkets and other pro-
tective long wraps, that are usually
chosen for early spring and travelling,
are shown in demure shades of tweed
or cheviot, either in pin checks or
plaids of medium size, and more dressy
ones of rough broche cloth, English
fancy wool or fine habit cloth. Golden
brown, tan, dove-gray, dark green and
olive are the. old standard dyes noted
I in new wrap fabrics fresh from the
loom.. These wraps are made without
trimming, except the monks hood and
collar and cuffs of velvet, but even
these additions are not obligatory. They
may also be lined or not, this being q
matter of personal taste or require
ment; but when very handsome mate
rial is selected, the firm but inexpen-
sive twilled lining silk is generally
used.
New and pretty "high-tea" aprons
are worn by this seasons debutantes
that prove very chic and becoming over
their gay house dresses. The aprons
are "Roman" in effect over the skirt
portion, being embroidered with a
wide edge in rich Oriental colors in
Roman designs A novel feature Of
the apron consists of the addition of a

Three Fashion Hens.

Bulgarian embroideries showing ex-
quisitely combined Eastern colors are
likely to be more fashionable for dress
borderings. They harmonlze with
every hue and are suited to all but
very thin textures.
The polonaise promises to be lead
ing favorite during the season to come,
and so many pretty styles have lately
been devised that it has every right to
the position.
Cross-striped dress fabrics will still
be made up into untrimmed skirts 10
accompany polonaises, as well as other
styles of upper dresses, which in color
will match the plain stripe between
the brocaded bands. Sometimes killed
skirts will be made of lengthwise
striped goods, which will be folded so
that only the brocsde will be visible =

The Presbyterian Synod of Alaba-

churches.
The agents of the Bible Society in
Toxic, Japan, have been unable to meet
the great demand for the Bible in that
city.
AT Wellesley College, Massachu-

vited all young women who felt moved
to 90 as missionaries to confer with her,
snd eighty responded.

to Utah established, the law would
never be enforced as it is now"
For the first ten or twelve years a
child should do nothing more than
look about him and absorb knowledge
through his perceptive faculties. The
men and women who have made the
most of themselves are those who be-

Rev. William Hurr, native mission
ary to the Sac and Fox Indians, Indian
Territory, reports that one of the lead
ing councilmen of that tribe, with his
son, has joined the Baptist Church.

manifest the genuineness of his con-
version by laboring to bring his rela-
tives to Christ.
The committee of the "Official
Year Book" of the Church of England
states that the amount contributed for
1885 exceeds by about S2,000,000 the
sum raised for church purposes in the
preceding year. Over $S,OO0,0o0 have
been voluntarily contributed in twelve
months for the building Or restoration
of churches and parsonages and the
endowment of benefices.
